We have a heart beat!

Just got back from the ultrasound appointment. Baby is measuring 6w1d, which they said isn't far off from where I would ideally be with an "ideal" ovulation date (and I ovulated late). Baby's heartrate was 117, which the tech said is right in the normal range. The tech checked for bleeding quite a few times and said she didn't see any, and said that was a very good sign. Not sure on the betas yet, as they FORGOT to order them last time around (grrr) so we'll have to wait until tomorrow for the betas from today's blood draw.

The midwife we met with today was, in DH's words "wishy-washy". She said it's a viable pregnancy, but went back and forth about the spotting I've been having, and asked if we wanted me to have a doctor's note to get out of working (after saying that studies showed no relation between bed rest and preventing miscarriage). She just wasn't terribly optimistic about our chances, which was a bummer. We're choosing to ignore her Debby Downer attitude until we have a reason to believe things aren't going according to plan.

So far, so good!
